These people are generally the victims and their families, and are riding a wave of increasing, violent, visible, deaths. <br />Can you imagine, instead of a wrecked car, displayed on the lawn before prom, to scare kids out of drunk driving (MADD tactic back when I was in HS), there would be some pics of pit damage in front of the animal shelter? <br /><br />It reminds me of what I do when I get down about the BSL bans being passed; I review what happened with gay marriage over the last decade. <br /><br />Less than decade ago, state after state passed laws- constitutional amendments even!- banning same sex marriage. They defined marriage as one man, one women, and made it clear this was how it was going to be. The anti gay activists were full of pride, they were SURE they beat the scourge of gays getting married! Even CALIFORNIA saw their already legal, gay marriage, overturned. <br />Liberals and gay marriage supporters were very down. I remember thinking- will things ever change? <br />Fast forward 5 years.<br />The tide started to turn, mostly because of the hard work of a minority. These laws were being challenged all over. <br />Then, add a few more years, and see the tidal wave of reversals. <br />By now, most have been ruled against, removed, and otherwise wiped off the books. Even in some of the least likely of places! All of a sudden, anti gay advocates were down. And gays were getting married all over. Even allowed in the military.<br /><br />No matter your take on gay marriage, you have to admit, the change was thorough. I can see this happening with BSL as well, because banning locals from being able to self govern is just not wise. They pass them because it's an easy political win for them, and makes their donors happy, but that can change in a heartbeat. We can make it change.
